That would make sense if they were doing that. But thet aren't. It looks like a fail on their end so far.

The problem is that, at first you'll find most people were indifferent to Adidas. "I don't LIKE them, but I don't HATE them either". That was their lane and it WAS cool for them to be in. On occasion (when they got a shoe right) they got a random sympathy purchase. You were like "F-it, I'll buy that for S's & giggles." Now because of these antics, folks are getting pissed at them. When Kanye leaves eventually, it's going to be a "cold winter" for them. Nike can handle people hating their brand because it's line-up and deliverables are just that strong. Were else are you going to go (for an extended period of time) when Nike has the game pretty much on lock; you WILL be back. Nike is the super model (= I'll never do better and I know it) and Adidas is like the fat girl (=you need to be grateful I'm even speaking to you right now). Adidas simply does not have enough redeeming qualities to afford being disliked. Once YE steps off..... I feel Adidas is going to be in a worse position than the times before the Yeezy.

What brand awareness? They are tarnishing their brand by launching this shoe like a bunch of amateurs. People who may have been willing to give Adidas a chance might be turned off by all this and tell Adidas to blow it out their ***.

Adidas had the most hyped fashion show in NY fashion week with their name on it. Brand awareness goes a long way, they are fine. It's what they do going that will ultimately determine what type of financial gains kanye can bring to the brand.

pretty much. if you read those articles it seems like they are putting all their eggs in the basket for 2015, this is the year they need to make some noise in the US and if it fails its not going to be good. how do you let under armor a company less than 20 years old become the number 2 company behind nike

Because Adidas is weak sauce in the States and we all know it. Now in Europe, that's another story; but we all know those kids are way behind times over there. It's like they are on another planet getting TV transmissions from the USA in the 1980's over there.

Didn't stop them from selling out things like the Run DMC collabs, the Pusha T collab, every Big Sean collab, etc. Popular Y-3 models? Raf/Rick collabs? They sell out consistently in the US. It's about perspective. You think they're struggling because you buy nothing from them. People who actually pay attention know that a different segment of buyers think Adidas is great.

you people can't comprehend, i never said they are struggling i said THEY ARE OUT OF TOUCH WITH THIS SNEAKER CULTURE and instead of learning how to do it they implemented their bone headed ways

If anything I would say they are in touch with the community (just not very good at delivery) they just gave one of the most polarizing people in fashion his own line and are pushing their runners.
